Parfrey's Glen

Last Sunday we spent the morning hiking through Parfrey's Glen near Baraboo Wisconsin.
It is an ancient place where you can see evidence the glaciers left behind.
Click on each picture and you can see the "wheels" of the glacier. Sandstone with aggregate layers containing granite boulders and pebbles.

A stream runs though the 100 foot high sandstone bluffs and exposes the granite bedrock below.
For a little perspective, find the hiker in the distance in the next photo.
This place is full of magic.
Best to be visited on a quiet day when you can hear the wind in the trees above,
the bird song in the woods
and the secret whispers of ancient times.
